hey gang 👋🏻 not sure if this has been done before but i'm going ahead anyway because i've been feeling really down as of late about all that's been going on in my work / the world / online space. everything feels very disheartening and bleak (jeez sorry for the negative turn)

BUT! just wanted everyone here to share 3 things that you're grateful for this year / month / week. anything counts 😊 so that we can all count our blessings and realise that there are still things to be appreciative of 🌸 i'll go first!

the three things i'm grateful for are:

1. had a two days off work because of the festive szn last week so i managed to get some much needed rest + tons of reading done
2. managed to smash a tough workout
3. finding out about PB(!!!)

Is it just me or do other people get annoyed when reading sentences where Kayden calls Gareth’s asshole “my pussy”. Eg “I’m going to spill my cum in my pussy” (not a true sentence in the book but a close approximation) like it just reads so grammatically wrong and takes me out of the moment. I just absolutely despise it. Like it’s one thing to claim it and say “this is my pussy” or “your pussy is mine now” but the other way just 🤢

Not hating the kink or the feminization as it suits this couple. I just hate the way it reads grammatically.

So I have to pause my reading. Is there plumbing in ACOTAR ? One might argue that it is not central to the story. And it's not. Maybe my brain has decided not to mind her own buisness about plumbing in fantastical universes. But this is important. If High fae lords have plumbing, when they do in fact have MAGIC, has that knowledge been shared with the humans ? Or are we still on a pot situation here. Feyre doesn't sound choked by the toilet seat, she's quite fond of it as of late.

Was that mentioned in the first book ? I confess I didn't pay much attention. But now I'm here. For the running water.

I cry to many books, but few have made me cry so hard I felt hungover the rest of the day. Two of those were Jellicoe Road by Melina Marchetta and Morningstar by Pierce Brown. The girl who just wanted her mom and the man who was no builder. Yea. Killed me. So, fellow book worms and dragons alike, what books have ruined your otherwise good day?
